I also have switching amp which uses a similar chipset as Al''s.
I personally did not hear any big change with the tweak but kept it in as it couldn't hurt I thought. Would your proposed tweak also work on blocking RF picked up by the tweet into the amp?
There are other interactions possible as well, like the tweeter broadcasting RF to be picked up and modulated by other components.
I did find an improvement with a power cleaner (PS Audio Quintet). Not obvious but I found that over time the sound was relaxing and liquid, whereas before it was mostly so only at night.
Other benefits may be reducing noise generated from one component from being injected into others via the power circuit, I.e. Back from one through the power supply into the other.
These things could be very site dependent, how much RF and power line noise you have.
